Report - Banham shop and house feb 2016

The History!
Theres none to be found ive trawled the internet and asked locals but nothing.
All that comes up is a report saying it was a old carpentry shop,im not so sure about that!!
If anyone does have any info about the history please share i would love to know.
I believe permission from breckland council is to demolish the building this year.
The explore!
This visit was a quick one,drove past as i often do and decided to stop.
Myself and daughter went straight in wasting no time to be seen.
Ive visited the shop many times in the last year each visit the place is more trashed.
From the amount of paperwork and goods left behind it suggests the place was abandoned around 1958 or near after.
Every visit i find something new this occasion was no different,found a lovely old childs toy pram,stuffed in the back of a outer building.
As you will see from the pics plenty to look at but wrecked.

Well done on getting out & in

You could do to get rid of the fuzzy OOF pics really (i think somebody needs a tripod or a shop counter to lean on ) & the pics are a bit on the large size for the Forum FYI

Look forward to the next ones

So glad we found this place.Love this little shop! I've been trying to find information on this place all day. And so far I've found out, I think it may of been an old post office? Can't wait for our next explore.

I don't use photobucket so have no idea if they have the option like Flickr to choose the size of the photo you wish to use, if not you would be best to re-size the photos locally before you upload them, that way you will not have any issues with sizes.

I'd also suggest narrowing down the amount of pictures posted as well, once you have got rid of the out of focus ones, which don't really add anything to the report (as Acid has already pointed out), choose 10-12 of the best ones and post them, then add a link to the rest of the photos should people want to see more.
